Author Problem Installing Components

Help. Anyone else run into this?

I can successfully install Components (packages) from other sources on my
Delphi 3 PRO system. I can not install ANY components from utilmind.com
For one thing, they do not include the dpk file.

When compiling and trying to build the dpk file I receive a Fatal Error
because of re-cursive use of "HttpGet" (or other components) when trying to
install a New Component.

i also have D3 Pro and i know the problem that your running into..
D3 pro does not support some of the OLE variable types from MS,
latter editions corrected this.
so if your trying to import some activex type controls you may find
that only some work and others won't import correctly..
Also there are some compiler enhancements that has been made since
D3 and many coders are using these even though they are not 100% nessary
but it does cause problems when trying to port code to older compilers..
one item i can think of off the top of my head is the use of
automative dynamic arrays. D3 does not support this how ever, it can be
simulated.
its also possible that you maybe dealing with a name comflict. in the
USES of the interface and implementation sections of the units.
any ways maybe i will take a look at that site and see what kind of
code they are writing there.
i have many times needed to make some source code changes from third
party components to make them work in D3.
the strange thing is that these changes i make also compile and work
fine in D7 even though the changes are not needed for D7.
